Xcode Error Message: "could not inspect application package"

Question

I'm trying to run my app on the device but I'm getting the following error message "Could not inspect application package", the app was successfully running on the device but then it stopped, it still builds successfully. Other apps are running fine.

This was the error from the console.

Any advice ?

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

For me, I copied a folder into Xcode 4.6.2 with the name "Resources". When Xcode asked, I created the folder references for any added folders.

Every time I did this, I would have to goto the Derived applications directory, and delete the build directory for my project to get it working again.

Solution: Do not copy a folder by reference into Xcode with the name "Resources". Rename it to something else other than Resources.

Very annoying error.
